The text by journalist Rodrigo Mattos, published in his column on "UOL", addresses the current phase of strikers Gabigol and Bruno Henrique, Flamengo's emblematic players. Mattos spared no criticism, expressing his dissatisfaction by stating that the duo "have become useless even as reserves for the red and black team". The journalist described the players' disappointing performance during a match, highlighting the lack of effectiveness in attack.
Even in the face of Fluminense's defensive fragility, Gabigol and Bruno Henrique were unable to explore the spaces in the opponent's area. Gabigol, in particular, barely touched the ball, and when he did, he was far from the goal. Meanwhile, Bruno Henrique lost disputes both high and low, and the columnist did not hesitate to compare Samuel Xavier's preference for facing Bruno Henrique instead of Cebolinha.
The core of Mattos' criticism lies in the idea that, in contemporary football, the quality of reserves is crucial due to the intensity of the game. In contrast, the journalist mentions other players, such as Ferrerinha, Roni, Luiz Guilherme, Vitinho, Matheus Gonçalves and Luiz Henrique, highlighting that, regardless of their names, these reserves are more useful to their teams than the two red-and-black stars, especially when it comes to the title dispute.
Rodrigo Mattos, in his critical analysis, urges Flamengo to understand the real situation of Gabigol and Bruno Henrique. It proposes pertinent questions, asking about the players' physical state and whether tactical or technical issues are affecting their performance. The search for solutions is considered imperative, and the journalist warns against renewing contracts without careful analysis, warning that this could financially compromise the club in exchange for a performance below expectations.
On Twitter, Rodrigo Mattos reinforces his opinion, highlighting that the current discussion is not just focused on making Gabigol and Bruno Henrique starters, but rather on assessing whether they are worthy reserves for Flamengo. The concern with the players' performance transcends the playing field and becomes a reflection on the management of the club's resources, encouraging fans and the board to critically assess the situation. In short, Rodrigo Mattos' text not only exposes the deficiencies of the players in question, but it also encourages reflection on the club's approach towards its athletes and the need for an in-depth analysis to find effective solutions given the current scenario.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

This Thursday (19), Flamengo hosts Peñarol (URU) at Maracanã, at 7pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América. In search of a good advantage for the second leg, coach Tite will have to deal with several important absences in the red and black squad.
Peñarol coach, Diego Aguirre, defined the starting lineup for the match decisive. With no important absences, the Uruguayan team takes to the field with: Aguerre; Léo Coelho, Javier Méndez, Guzmán Rodríguez; Pedro Milans, Eduardo Darías, Damián García, Javier Cabrera, Léo Fernández, Maximiliano Olivera; and Maximiliano Silvera.
Aguirre will have almost his entire squad at his disposal. The only player out of the match is Damian Suarez, who has not yet had his name regularized after his recent arrival at the Uruguayan club. However, Suarez's absence is not a concern, as the coach has a complete squad for the clash against Mengão. b>
On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.
This Thursday's clash is extremely important for the CRF. The Rio team needs a convincing victory to travel more calmly to Uruguay for the second leg, scheduled for September 26th. An impressive score at Maracanã would be essential to guarantee a solid advantage in the tie and ease the pressure for the second game.

With several casualties in the offensive sector, Bruno Henrique, 33 years old, will be the main name in Flamengo's attack in the next matches. The striker, who stands out for his long-standing partnership with Arrascaeta, believes that this harmony will be fundamental for the team to maintain its good performance in the competitions it competes in, such as the Brazilian Championship, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
"We are the players at the front. Arrascaeta is a classic midfielder, who knows how to create plays and finish. Being close to him increases the chances of scoring and assisting. With his quality and the more than six years we have played together, we understand each other just by looking at each other", stated Bruno Henrique in an interview with ESPN.
Flamengo will no longer have Pedro and Everton Cebolinha until the end of the season. Furthermore, Michael and Luiz Araújo are only expected to return to the pitch in the final stretch of 2024. Gabigol, who also faces physical problems, has been used less frequently. With this series of absences, the leading role falls to Bruno Henrique, who has the mission of leading the red and black attack at a decisive moment of the season.
To make up the offensive sector, Mais Querido also has newcomers Gonzalo Plata and Carlinhos, as well as young promises from the club's youth categories. Despite the losses, the expectation is that Bruno Henrique's experience and quality will be enough to keep the team competitive in competitions.
